Hi guys! Back with a new cover collaboration with Minniva, and Tommy Johansson rock the male vocals on Bye Bye Beautiful by Nightwish, from their album Dark Passion Play!
This has been a tough one to mix, plus I had to learn the wide world of sound synthesis for these crazy synth sounds that Tuomas is using everywhere in the new Nightwish albums. Hope you like how this came out!
More covers with amazing collaborators will be coming soon, so don't hesitate to subscribe if you liked this one and don't wan't to miss the upcoming ones!

Hello guys!
This week I picked what I think is the most epic music from Pokemon games, which is the battle theme of the fights against Lance and Red in the Gold/Silver and Heartgold/Soulsilver games.
I tried to make it sound as metal and as epic as possible, tell me what you think!

Album: The Black Halo
Song: This Pain
~~ Lyrics ~~
Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface
...so I can breathe
Dark is the night for us all, but some days
I feel the light crawling down from these jagged walls
Blessed sunlight
Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true
I left her with a warning... without protection
'Cause the human nature has its ways with lust
With her back against the wall she crumbled
Just a minute more would have saved her life
And even so... part of me
Blessed sunlight
Some of this pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of this pain will always stay
Deep and true
I see her shame in my desire
It all took place too soon
Some of these wounds will always bleed
Over you

Album: Oceanborn
Song: Sleeping Sun
~~ Lyrics ~~
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

This is a full instrumental cover of the original song Everytime we touch by Cascada.
I wanted to keep some of the EDM feel with all the synths, while playing all the melodies on the guitar, and adding some metal guitar rythms and drums. And a bonus guitar solo!
Rythm guitars are inspired from Cole Rolland's version, I'm a bit fan of his work and covers :)
Overall, I tried to add my own touch to the song, tell me what you think!

A few days ago, the father and legend of rock'n'roll Chuck Berry left us to spread his music somewhere in the clouds. This video is my humble tribute for what he brought to us.
I added a short Back to the Future reference, because Marty McFly introduced me to Chuck's music when I was a child. Since then I knew that someday I would also pick up a guitar and rock it as hard as I could.
Thank you Chuck!

Hello guys!
I am proud to come back with another collaboration with Minniva :)
This one has been challenging on many aspects, from transcribing all the tracks from the original to achieving this thick mix with lots of things going on all along this song. But I am really happy with the final result.

Band: Within Temptation
Song: In the Middle Of The Night
Album: The Unforgiving
LYRICS
I've been walking this road of desire,
I've been begging for blood on the wall.
I don't care if I'm playing with fire,
I'm aware that I'm frozen inside.
I have known all along.
So much more going on, no denying,
But I know I'm not standing alone
You've been playing my mind through my wishes.
You can feel that we're haunting the truth.
Don't know, I can't hold on, always losing control.
In the middle of the night,
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray.
In the middle of the night,
I can't let it out.
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night
No more tears,
No, 'cause nothing else matters
I've been closing my eyes for too long.
Only vengeance will make me feel better.
There's no rest till I know that it's done.
You've been playing my mind through my wishes
You can feel that we're haunting the truth
Don't know, I can't hold on, always losing control
In the middle of the night,
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray.
In the middle of the night,
I can't let it out.
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night,
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray.
In the middle of the night,
I can't let it out.
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night

Original by: Gary Moore
Inspired version by: Nightwish
Album: Over The Hills And Far Away
Song: Over The Hills And Far Away
Lyrics:
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
His pistol had been found.
They marched to the station house,
He waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wrong.
"You stand accused of robbery, "
He heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beats like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
Back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms she swears she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
Back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
Over the hills and far away.

As far as I can remember, Ghostbusters is a song I've always loved. But I had now the feeling that there was something missing about this song. So I filled the gaps that had been here for years, just waiting for some guitar tracks!

She is my Sin was the first song that I completely mixed from scratch as an instrumental cover on my channel last year. I did work a lot on my mixing skills since then, and I am proud to upload a new version of this cover in collaboration with the amazing Rehn Stillnight. She did a truly great performance on the lead and backing vocals, I hope you will enjoy our cover version as much we had fun working on it!

Band: Nightwish
Song: She Is My Sin
Album: Wishmaster
Lyrics:
Take heed, dear heart
Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you
Dressed as one
A wolf will betray a lamb
Lead astray the gazers
The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
Every flower's perfect
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him
Desire within
A burning veil
For the bride too dear for him
A sin for him
Desire within
Fall in love with your deep dark sin
I am the Fallen
You are what my sins enclose
Lust is not as creative
As its discovery
To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear
A sin for him
Bless me, undress me
Pick your prey in a wicked way
God I must confess
I do envy the sinners
